Description Supposing Books Outer Dark

This is my third Cormac McCarthy book. First one was The Road, which is without a doubt one of the best books I ever read, it had a great impact on me. Second was No country for old men, after seeing the movie and discovering this story was also written by McCarthy I felt the need to read the story too to fully grasp its meanings. McCarthy writes dark, incredible, fascinating stories, Outer Dark is no exception. I find his writing and style very powerful, very expressive, beautiful, clear sentences, language and descriptions and the stories are so fascinating and always food for thought, I am a big fan of Cormac McCarthy now. This book leaves you thinking... what does this all mean, and it stays in your mind. I'm sure I will want to keep rereading his books. This man is a great writer. So glad I discovered his talents last year with The Road. Next McCarthy book is on my list to read, but after a break and some other books. This book has to sink in first and first I need some lighter reads before starting the next one. However, looking forward to it already.

Assessment Out Of Books Outer Dark

As though Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire focused intently on the concentration of forces at issue in the moment of "the things I do for love." I've read enough McCarthy to understand, I think, that his prose is almost tediously spartan for nine parts and then will bust a sudden swagger of rhetorgasm, as perhaps suggested by prior remarks on Blood Meridian.Some examples (in addition to the quotations in the status updates):Early foreshadowing in "the trees reared like enormous androids provoked

With this story, the author shows us that two people who have been able to get closer to their being, separate to follow parallel paths. Finally, a lesson in ordinary life but inscribed in an unknown setting.Through the play of symbols, the rhythm of the story, episodes of discoveries we seek as characters to know the rest ... the end of the journey in this universe full of dishonesty and disappointment.A very modern novel, and very nice.

Having given 5* to The Road (my review here http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...), I was surprised and disappointed at how much I disliked this. Like The Road, it is dark and sparse, and involves destitute people travelling on foot, looking for food, shelter and hope, but that is where the similarity ends.This is set much longer ago (before cars) and tells several parallel and occasionally intersecting stories: a woman searching for her missing baby; her brother searching for her; a tinker

McCarthys Outer Dark is a dark tale (as to be expected) of a woman who goes in search of her baby, who has been taken into a forest and left for dead by her brother. Her brother is the father of this baby. What unfolds is a narrative that tracks both her and the brother on their travels searching for what they have lost. For her, its her child. For him, its her (his sister). While the writing is beautiful, lyrical, and sparse (like all of McCarthys writing), the issue I take with this book is

3.5/5 The ancestors had called Europeans the orphan people and had noted that as with orphans taken in by selfish or coldhearted clanspeople, few Europeans had remained whole. They failed to recognize the earth was their mother. Europeans were like their first parents, Adam and Eve, wandering aimlessly because the insane God who had sired them had abandoned them.-Leslie Marmon Silko, Almanac of the Dead I will always be a fan of McCarthy because of his treatment of the "Western" tradition.

From his earliest literary forays like 'The Orchard Keeper' and 'Suttree', it was clear that the American Novel had found its heir to Faulkner. His prose contained the same lyrical beauty and biblical gravity of his artistic predecessor, but with a harsh, often brutal clarity that was all his own.With 'Outer Dark', he transcended the labels and comparisons, defining himself as the greatest prose stylist of his generation, framing the rough structure for his dark personal vision of America...

Who were those three men? I am sure that (view spoiler)[I have no idea! (hide spoiler)]I have read several Cormac McCarthy books: The Road, No Country for Old Men, Blood Meridian and Suttree. With the exception of Suttree I have not disliked any of those books and I even gave Suttree two stars (It Was OK) because of the stunning language that turned up regularly. So Outer Dark was a special McCarthy experience for me. I could actually follow the story: sister has baby; brother abandons baby;
